Cllr Peter Ashton

PETER ASHTON (CHAIR) Elected 2015 WEST WARD

I have been a resident of Baildon since 1983 and a member of the Town Council since 2013. Married with two grown up children, I am a retired former teacher who worked in schools across West Yorkshire until 2010.

I have been involved in community life in Baildon throughout my residency, having served as a Governor in four schools and as a Chair of a school for nine years. Currently, outside of the Council, I chair the Baildon Carnival Association, which organises the annual Town Carnival each July, and am a regular volunteer at Bracken Hall Countryside Centre.

While volunteering as a Councillor I have chaired the Planning Committee and recently served on the Environment, Planning and Bracken Hall Committees.
